Ruth
From then on, Riley helped pick up where Chance left off.
Chance was getting a bit suspicious of Riley always coming over but he never asked.
It took me another three whole months to feel ready.
I'm not sure if I am ready but I feel it.
Ready for what you say?
To speak.
Yes.
Riley decided before I try to actually speak, I should try something smaller.
So, she gave me a piece of paper and told me to write a letter to Chance.
"I'm not going to read it, I just want you to write something to him. Maybe you can give it to him or you can just use it for practice. Whatever you want."
I nod my head and think of Chance.
The second his smile pops into my head I scribble away.
'To Chance,
Love quotes inspire golden strands of truth in an age of cynicism. Yet for me, they can never adequately capture the strands of emotion that tumble through the air whenever my heart turns to you.
Love, after all, transcends time, distance and even mortality. Love is the greatest wonder of our age, weightless and invisible as it is. The wordsmith brings a beauty to the love, elevates it yet sometimes this very pedestal brings us to romantic notions too heavy for ordinary life.
I love you like the nascent leaves of spring love warmth; I love you like the ancients loved the night sky; I love you like a cool draught of water on a summers day. Love cannot be fireworks for an entire lifetime, though we've had our share. Love must flow quietly, peacefully, always remaining strong.
Love is nothing like finance, we don't give a certain amount to get something back; we simply give. Love doesn't lead us to chide or sulk when we feel the lack of it from our partner. It shows us how to bring life and fire back to their soul, to love them back to their true selves and wellness. So, do I adore quotations of love? I do; but for me, love is more... it is the greatest power we can ever know. Anything else is a cruel and empty distraction.

I always knew I could write essays and essays about Chance if I wanted to but this was different.
It came from my heart.
"So, we've done loads of preparation. Do you think you're ready?"
I slowly nod my head and she smiles at me
"Can I get a little taste?"
I shake my head at her violently.
"Saving it all for Chance? Well, I guess it is a one in a million chance so you'd want it to be special."
I slap her shoulder and make her leave.
Again, her stupid puns.
======================================================================
I've just finished my plan and now it's time to get it underway. I contacted a few people to help and tomorrow evening - I will speak.
